Answered Question - Disney Parks Moms Panel

We are coming back to Disneyworld for the 2nd time in 6 months, LOVE THIS PLACE! My question is about the fastpass+ for Illuminations. Do we have preferred seating for this? It says we are at the "preferred viewing area,between the tower gift shops&qu

Hi, Marci! There isn't any seating at the preferred viewing areas. The areas are great spots from which to enjoy Illuminations, however, the viewing area is standing only. There will be Cast Members there to make sure only guests with the FastPass+ option gain access to the area, so you won't have to worry about the spot being crowded with other theme park guests who have just wandered over.

The preferred viewing area is especially helpful for guests who don't like to choose a spot early and wait an extended period of time. You can gain access to the reserved area up through show time, so even if you want to stop and grab that one last souvenir or snack on your way, you'll still find space available!
